This happens after every layoff.
It's a slap in the face to those just laid off isn't it?
When the lay-offs were publicized in Switzerland NVS made it very plain that most of those people would be transitioned to positions in Sandoz or other divisions. And if not, they have generous social benefits there.
Go GOP!
Maybe Novartis transitions employees in Switzerland to other positions, but in the US, when you are laid off, you are transitioned out the door. Novartis routinely announces publicly to the media that affected employees will be transitioned to other positions or offered jobs within the company, but that is a lie. Laid off employees have to apply for open positions and it's doubtful they'll be hired. Of all those NIBR employees laid off in Emeryville, ONLY TWO were accepted for jobs in Cambridge.
othey just hired a new fte sales rep... why????? When all of us were laid off?? what is wrng with them? I didn't even get an interview...wtf?
